In a simply furnished room, Gudako slowly sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes.
After Gudako sat blankly on the bed and cleared her thoughts, her mind was full of questions: 'Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?'
At this moment, Gudako, full of questions, did not notice that the room door had been opened a crack from the outside, and then a dark gun barrel extended from the gap, pointing at Gudako at the head of the bed.
"Bang!"
With a crisp gunshot, Gudako fell into a pool of blood. Afterward, the person outside the door seemed to confirm that Gudako was dead, and only then did they confidently push open the door and walk inside.
When that figure reached the bedside, their pupils suddenly contracted. They then quickly reached into their bosom, intending to pull out a handgun. At this moment, Gudako on the bed suddenly raised her head, revealing a gaze like a wild beast.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Gudako leaped up from the bed and easily tore that person into pieces. Afterward, Gudako sniffed with her nose like a wild beast, let out a howl, and leaped down from the window.
Gudako, having leaped from the window, landed among a group of armed personnel who were preparing to enter the house, and using superhuman strength and agility, she began a massacre among the armed personnel.
Not far away, Rin was watching with a grave expression as the NPCs she had summoned were being wantonly slaughtered by Gudako.
"Tsk! Have the system residuals and 666's bestial nature not been cleaned up yet? How stubborn!"
Subsequently, Rin activated Reinforcement Magic and leaped up, crossing a distance of several hundred meters to reach Gudako's side. Without mercy, she delivered an iron fist to Gudako's abdomen. Then, with a flash of light in her hand, the blood on the ground transformed into a giant python that tightly coiled around the Gudako who had fallen to the ground.
Rin walked up to Gudako, who was constantly emitting beast-like roars, and snapped her fingers in front of her. As the snap took effect, Rin's hypnotic magic followed.
Rin opened the system panel to control the spirit origin system to manifest several armed NPCs, who quickly took Gudako away from the area.
At the same time, Kiritsugu Emiya also arrived near the elevator entrance to the next level with Servant Kiritsugu.
Looking at the dozen or so shadow Servants not far ahead, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but frown and turned around, leading Servant Kiritsugu back toward the living area they had come from.
After controlling the NPCs to clean up the traces of the battle for Gudako, Rin sat quietly beside Gudako, who was lying on the bed, and pondered.
'The strange aura remaining in the system and 666's bestial nature are truly difficult to deal with. I have already used the Stigmata and the residual NPC personalities established by this 950-year spirit origin system to scrub them, yet it still cannot be completely erased. It seems I can only try to see if The Enlightened One can solve it!'
After thinking this, Rin glanced at Gudako on the bed, then took Gudako's small hand and, with the help of the spirit origin system, branded three command spells onto the back of Gudako's hand, then turned into a ball of light and returned to the previous garden.
Returning to the garden, Rin quickly expanded the spirit origin system's operation panel and began to continuously plant some small props or scenery with slight psychological suggestions along Kiritsugu Emiya's route.
Accompanied by Rin's guidance, Kiritsugu Emiya soon arrived in front of the house where Gudako was staying.
In the garden, Rin nodded with satisfaction and then waved her hand. A magic circle appeared beside Gudako, and with a brilliant flash of light, Martha appeared beside Gudako with a pout.
"You really know how to order people around!"
After complaining, Martha glanced at Gudako sleeping on the bed, then quickly turned around and punched the wall near the door.
At this moment, Servant Kiritsugu, who was following Kiritsugu Emiya, felt a tremor in his heart and quickly pulled Kiritsugu Emiya into a sharp retreat to avoid the iron fist that had come through the wall.
Servant Kiritsugu looked at Martha, who had crashed through the wall and rushed out, and charged at her with a dagger in one hand and a handgun in the other.
"Wait!"
Servant Kiritsugu and Martha, who were just about to clash, simultaneously stopped and turned to look at Kiritsugu Emiya, who had spoken, seemingly intending to hear what he had to say.
"This Servant, I am not here to fight. I hope to cooperate with your Master to reach the next level together."
At this moment, Gudako, who had been awakened by the recent fighting, also walked out from the large hole in the wall made by Martha, looking bewildered.
"Did you lose your memory like I did before?"
Gudako raised her bewildered eyes to look at Kiritsugu Emiya, seemingly waiting for him to explain.
Mistakenly believing that Gudako was just experiencing amnesia like himself, Kiritsugu Emiya began to repeat the explanation he had heard from his classmate earlier to Gudako.
Upon hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's explanation, Gudako became even more bewildered. However, not knowing what else to do, Gudako finally nodded at Kiritsugu Emiya, and then the two, along with their respective Servants, began to walk toward the elevator leading to the next level.
At the same time, Rin, having achieved her goal, began to search the status of each level through the system.
"Second level: Sovereign Shinji Matou, and the Servant is actually Lily! Third level: The Prime Minister with Weber's appearance! Fourth level: Caren and Emiya! Fifth level: Shirou and Irisviel! Sixth level: Illya and Kuro! Seventh level: Fujino, Eighth level: Sakura! No, this Sakura is very wrong! Ninth level: Touko! That giant over there is adam, right? But where did Avicebron go?"
After a careful search, Rin finally discovered Avicebron's head in a jar in Touko's laboratory.
"Alright! It seems he was broken by Touko! Adding Kirei Kotomine and The Enlightened One on the tenth level, hmm! Why does it feel like this spirit origin Holy Grail Ritual has turned into an Emiya family brawl!"
Then, Rin rubbed her chin and pondered for a while, seemingly unable to perceive any hope for Kiritsugu Emiya and Gudako to reach the tenth level.
"It seems I must make an appearance as well!"
After saying this, Rin's attire instantly changed, and then her eyes turned red; Ishtar Rin appeared once again.
At the same time, Kiritsugu Emiya and Gudako, who had taken the elevator to the second level, looked at the peaceful and quiet small town before them, feeling somewhat confused.
Gudako turned her head and stared at Kiritsugu Emiya, asking.
"Kiritsugu! Is this really a Holy Grail War?"
Kiritsugu Emiya frowned; Kiritsugu Emiya also felt very puzzled by the scene before him.
"Regardless, let's go in first!"
Subsequently, the two entered the town and witnessed countless heartwarming daily scenes: peddlers hawking their wares, children playing on the street, and residents with excited smiles on their faces—all of which clearly told Kiritsugu Emiya and Gudako that this town was, just as it appeared on the surface, a peaceful town.
At this moment, a man with a somewhat sleazy appearance bumped straight into Kiritsugu Emiya's chest. After being bumped into a stagger by Kiritsugu Emiya, the sleazy man said nothing and just fled in a panic into an alley.
Feeling that there was something extra in his hand, Kiritsugu Emiya pulled Gudako to an empty spot under a tree by the side of the road, and then took out the paper ball in his hand and unfolded it.
'You are the Masters participating in the Holy Grail, right! If you want to know everything, come to the abandoned farm on the eastern outskirts!'
After reading the paper ball, Kiritsugu Emiya handed the note to Gudako, who was standing to the side, standing on tiptoes and constantly looking over. Then, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat there in the shade of the tree, not knowing what he was thinking about.
